HAMILTON’S Lifeline is calling on the public for donations, to help the store become self-sufficient.

Local Lifeline stores calling on donations TARA FRY LIFELINE stores in south-west Victoria are in need of donations to keep their doors open. Coordinator of the Hamilton store, Le-Anne Warburton, said the Brown Street charity shop was working to become self-sufficient and required donations of all kinds. “We need basically everything; clothes, bric-abrac, books, toys, pictures, old electrics if they work, old towels, old sheets, what is not good enough to sell, we make into rags,” she said. “We have moments where we do really well, considering there are so many places to donate in Hamilton.” Ms Warburton said the trend of Buy, Swap and Sell pages had led to a decrease in donations in recent years. “People are tending not to donate as much as they used to,” she said. “Now with the ways things are, if people think they can make some money out of it they will.” NAB clean-up raises A NUMBER of residents expressed their concerns over the weekend when they walked past Hamilton’s NAB Bank and saw bank documents in the skip bin along with rubbish from the branch’s refurbishment. Residents believed some documents were labelled “confidential” and would open up doors to identity fraud.

Hamilton’s Lifeline store operates weekdays from 10am-4pm, thanks to the help of 10 volunteers. All goods sold through Lifeline Stores help to financially support counselling services, telephone crisis support training and suicide prevention programs. 180730bj016 Jarrod says “Keep it xT41HSePaper2 SGG2877717
